“…The acid digestion methods of Toth et al [20] and Hussain and Khan [21] with some modifications were followed to determine inorganic constituents. Each sample (0.2 g) was digested with a mixture of HNO 3 and HClO 4 (4:1, v/v) at room temperature overnight and heated at 130°C for 1 h until a clear solution was obtained (about 2 mL).…”

Nutrient and mineral assessment of edible wild fig and mulberry fruits.Abstract -Introduction. Edible wild plants are nature's gift to mankind. Considering the growing need to identify alternative bio-nutritional sources, some underutilized species of figs (Ficus carica L., F. palmata Forssk., F. racemosa L.) and mulberries (Morus alba L., M. nigra L, M. laevigata Wall.) of the family Moraceae were evaluated as wild edible fruits to study their nutritive and mineral composition in order to prioritize their edibility for indigenous people. Materials and methods. The major proximal components (moisture, ash, lipids, proteins, fibers and carbohydrates) were determined by standard AOAC methods. The concentration of various minerals (K, Ca, Mg and Na) and trace elements (Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu and Ni) Résumé -Introduction. Les plantes sauvages comestibles sont un don que fait la nature à l'humanité. Considérant le besoin croissant d'identifier de nouvelles sources de bio-nutrition, certaines espèces sous-utilisées de figuiers (Ficus carica L., F. palmata Forssk., F. racemosa L.) et de mûriers (Morus alba L., M. nigra L, M. laevigata Wall.) de la famille des Moraceae ont été évaluées en tant que fruits sauvages comestibles pour étudier leur composition nutritive et minérale afin de prioriser leur consommation auprès des populations autochtones. Matériel et méthodes. La composition globale des fruits étudiés (humidité, cendres, lipides, protéines, fibres et glucides) a été déterminée par utilisation de méthodes AOAC standards. La concentration en divers miné-raux (K, Ca, Mg et Na) et en oligo-éléments (Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu et Ni) a été déterminée en utilisant un spectrophotomètre d'absorption atomique. Résultats. Nos résultats ont révélé une gamme de teneurs en humidité de 17,82-80,37 g⋅100 g -1 (poids frais) pour F. carica-M. laviegata ; en protéines, de 6,31-13,50 g⋅100 g -1 (poids sec) pour F. glomerata-M. alba ; en graisses brutes, de 1,02-2,71 g⋅100 g -1 pour F. palmate-F. glomerata ; en glucides, de 69,47-75,58 g⋅100 g -1 pour M. alba-M. nigra ; en fibres, de 7,63-17,81 g⋅100 g -1 pour M. laviegata-F. palmate, respectivement. Une valeur énergétique significativement élevée a été calculée pour M. laviegata (367,7 kcal⋅100 g -1 ). En outre, des quantités non négligeables d'éléments essentiels ont été trouvées chez toutes les espèces étudiées. Les plus hauts niveaux de N [(0,24 ± 0,07)

The campus of the University of Pune represents a unique deciduous forest ecosystem as it is highly dominated by an introduced shrub Dalbergia melanoxylon Guill. This campus shows rich herbaceous phytodiversity of native and invasive plants. At present most of the alien weeds are suppressing the native diversity. The morphological and ecophysiological studies clearly revealed their faster growth and biomass production rate, very high reproductive abilities and tolerance to different biotic and abiotic stresses leading to successful invasions. This might be ascribed to their richness in different types of allelochemicals like triterpenes, phenols, steroids, flavonoids bitter principles along with the osmolytes like proline, glycine betaine. This subsequently creates an inhospitable environment to native plants and threatens their survival causing an inception of biodiversity losses. The present attempt may provide some clues to understand the mechanism of their invasion and dominance.
